42 years ago and a charity match in Yateley to raise funds for a local school's attempts to get a swimming pool built.

The ex-Aldershot players listed to appear mostly played for the club in the 1950s though one, Ron Hobbs, had played before the war.

12 page programme issued costing 10p - the notes state that the club had printed 4,000 programmes for this game so I imagine it's not particularly rare!

Looked up Yateley - given it's a town of over 20,000 people, it's odd there doesn't appear to be a local football club of any note. In 1971, Yateley FC were playing in the Aldershot Senior League. Perhaps it's stockbroker country?
